DropBear Codex is a collection of modular C# libraries built with .NET 8, designed to provide robust, reusable components for a wide range of software development needs. The libraries are organized into several projects, each addressing specific areas such as Blazor components, encoding, file management, hashing, operations management, serialization, state management, utilities, and validation. All libraries are published as NuGet packages for easy integration.
The solution includes the following projects:
- DropBear.Blazor: Custom Blazor component library.
- DropBear.Codex.Core: Core return type classes used throughout the other projects.
- DropBear.Codex.Encoding: Basic rANS encoding algorithm implementation.
- DropBear.Codex.Files: Custom file format with classes to read, write, and manage this custom file type, including serialization and verification hashes.
- DropBear.Codex.Hashing: Various hashing implementations.
- DropBear.Codex.Operation: Basic and advanced operation managers for queuing up operations and executing them with recovery and fallback support.
- DropBear.Codex.Serialization: Custom serialization wrappers around JSON, MessagePack, and more.
- DropBear.Codex.StateManagement: State machine implementation for managing application states.
- DropBear.Codex.Utilities: Extension methods and helper/utility classes.
- DropBear.Codex.Validation: Validation strategy implementations.
To get started with the DropBear Codex solution:
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/tkuchel/dropbear-codex.git-
Open the solution in your preferred .NET development environment (e.g., JetBrains Rider or Visual Studio).
-
Build the solution to ensure all projects compile correctly.
The libraries are available as NuGet packages. To install a package, use the following command:
dotnet add package DropBear.Codex.<LibraryName>Replace <LibraryName> with the specific library you wish to install.
Each library is designed to be modular and can be used independently. Detailed usage instructions can be found in the individual library’s README files (coming soon).
Here’s a basic example of how to use the DropBear.Codex.Core library:
using DropBear.Codex.Core;
var result = Result.Success("Operation completed successfully.");
if (result.IsSuccess)
{
Console.WriteLine(result.Message);
